Report: Man City set to make eye-watering bid for rumoured Spurs target
According to journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Manchester City are ready to offer a whopping €130m (£113.5m) for rumoured Tottenham target Josko Gvardiol.
Over recent weeks, reports have credited Spurs with an interest in Gvardiol (Tuttosport) but the North London club seemingly have plenty of competition for the centre-back, who is also allegedly on the radars of ManUnited, Man City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Juventus (Foot Mercato).
Pedulla has now revealed that Real Madrid and Man City are at the front of the queue for the RB Leipzig star, with the latter set to blow the former out of the water.
The journalist explains that Madrid were ready to offer Leipzig €90m (£78.6m) and informed Gvardiol they will give up him a contract worth €6m (£5.2m) per season, with the 20-year-old said to be open to a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, he adds that Man City have now told the player, as well as the Bundesliga club, that they are ready to offer substantially more. The reigning Premier League Champions are allegedly willing to pay €130m (£113.5m) for the Croat and offer him double the salary that Los Blancos are.
Pedulla adds that City remain in close contact with Leipzig and the two clubs could agree on a deal that would see Gvardiol swap the Red Bull Arena for the Etihad next summer.
Spurs Web Opinion
Gvardiol’s value has understandably skyrocketed after the World Cup, and any hopes that Tottenham had of winning the race for the Croat has now dissipated.
The North London club will likely focus all their efforts on snapping up Alessandro Bastoni next summer after failing to get a deal for the Italian over the line during the previous transfer window.
